| CAL4M1TY said: I wonder how they reviewed God of War and DMC series then. Seriously not every game is designed for multiplayer (online or offline) and they shouldn't be penalised just because they made a smart design choice (imagine how awful DMC multiplayer would be). I think the wii's got it pretty hard this generation, most Gamecube and PS2 games were faily compared to THEIR OWN library's in terms of graphics rather than comparing the graphics to a xbox game. I wonder why the wii got the short end of the stick this time around. |
I think a lot of reviewers end up deciding what they want to give a particular game (as a score) and then justify that score ...
If they decide that they want to give Bioshock a 10/10 then multiplayer (of any form) is unnecessary, while if they want to give Wii Fit a 7.5/10 they use "no multiplayer" as a shortcomming to dock marks; on a flip side if they want to give Halo a 10/10 then the enjoyment of multiplayer easily compensates for the lackluster single player campaign, and if they want to give Mario Kart a 7.5/10 the single player campaign was not good enough to justify a greater score.
